When your feet are happy, you’re happy

For those of us with hectic schedules, professional careers, and need a fancy wardrobe to match our ambition, some items are non-negotiable. Formal shoes are one of those items. Every professional needs work shoes that are top-quality and provide them with the comfort to focus on their everyday tasks. Here on Stylight, you're spoilt for choice with our extensive range of no-nonsense, yet stylish, formal shoes from brands like Geox and Emporio Armani.

Work it!

Choose between lace-up or slip on work shoes on Stylight. Formal shoes look great with dress pants and elegant blouses or collar shirts. Throw on a blazer to take your outfit to the next level. Your formal shoes can also be worn with pencil skirts or with chino shorts. Formal shoes are generally flat, making them perfect to move around in all day.

Work hard, play hard

With some formal shoes you can work out of the office and into a bar. Brands like Ecco get the balance between formal and comfort right in a way that enables you to wear your formal shoes in more than one setting. This is especially true if you pick a design with a splash of colour or detail. Formal shoes are truly a great investment and can be incredibly versatile.

Formal shoes: in and outside the box

There are mainly two styles of formal shoes to choose from. There is the classy kind - mostly made from leather and more homogenous across brands. Then there are formal shoes that are totally unique because of the addition of colour, details like studs, or because of their out-of-the-box designs. Formal shoes from a designer like Jeffrey Campbell tend to push the limits more, and can add a little oomph to your normal work outfit.

To round it all off

When you've picked out your favourite work shoes, get yourself some socks and stockings from Stylight's large collection of hosiery. When your outfit is ready, enjoy that click-clack sound of success!

How Low Can You Go in Low Cut Shoes

A low-cut shoe is more than just your standard sneaker. From wear-with-all slip-ons to updated lace-ups, low-cut shoes span a range of styles. Step up your shoe game when you stock up on the basics and select a few statement shoes to round out your collection.

With styles from barely-there ballet flats to ankle biting boots, we are breaking down our favorite low-cut style shoes.

Ankle Biters

Lace into a desert boot or pull on a short Chelsea style for ankle grazing boots that won’t constrain your calves. All the toughness of their taller counterparts, without the hassle, style these low-cut kicks with a pair of rolled up denim.

Going Brogue

Borrowed-from-the-boys brogues are now a feminine favorite. From traditional lace-ups to updated cut away’s, slip into these moderately high, low tops to instantly elevate your look from casual to chic. Keep these dress shoes casual with high-waisted skinnies and a blousy white tee and bring it back to boyish with a pair of wayfarers.

Pumped up Plimsolls

Migrating towards the toes, for a low-cut sneaker you can slip-on, look to the plimsoll. For a particularly on-point style, choose a pair that combines sophisticated details with a sporty shape. Try a pair with a platform or pointed toe for a style that pumps up a basic plimsoll.

Getting Low in Loafers

No shoe collection is complete without a luxe loafer. Look for one with minimal details for a modern take on this classic low-cut. Bring structure to a fluid culotte and silky top with a heavy soled loafer for a look that mixes masculine and feminine.

Sly Smoking Slipper

Somewhere between a loafer and a ballet flat, a smoking slipper is a casual slip-on with an air of sophistication. Opt for a pointed toe in lush velvet for a shoe you can easily dress up or down. Achieve a corporate-cool ensemble when you pair a bright blue smoking slipper with a tapered trouser and blouse.

Barely-There Ballet Flat

For a shoe every woman needs a few of, the basic ballet flat is as low as you can go. A barely there ballet flat is an understated slip-on you can count on. Slide into a black patent pair for a stylish commute to your office or try a leopard print for an easy-to-wear statement shoe to complete your laidback weekend look.

Slide into a fresh pair of low-cut kicks for high-impact on your style. From basic to statement-making, these are the shoes you need to complete any outfit.
